Anuran the Caecilian rise from the murky depths to wreak havoc in the Afterlife with this update that also features some important bug/crash fixes, a NEW map, Ranked mode and Leaderboards to mention a couple of important things.

Added a new FREE Map! Descend into the bowels of the fiery volcanic mountain Mirage, battle for control of the Mirage Resource orbs and slot them into the Mirage Stone. Slotting the 3rd orb will turn you into an invulnerable Mirage Golem for 45 seconds and give you +100 Attack Damage. The map is live now and ready for testing, give it a try!

Added a basic Reconnect feature so you are able to reconnect to your game should you lose connection.

Fixed an issue with the match server occasionally not accepting a game (the bug where you all accept a game and “nothing” happens, i.e. the game doesn’t start).

Anuran the Caecilian is available now! Here is a short description of his ability set.

Wrath
While Wrath is active, you and all Allied Heroes within 4 (+0.2 per ability level up) Range deal 60 (+3+ per ability level up) bonus attack damage at the cost of 10 (+5 per ability level up) of your Health per second.

Rush
You rush forward up to 10 (+0.5 per ability level up) Units. All Enemy Units hit on the way will be dragged to the destination and dealt 155 (+80 per ability level up) Power Damage +50% from equipped Power Items.

Fixed an issue with the game occasional game crashes when fighting a Sentinel (during the end game).

Did a balancing pass on ALL hero base stats, abilities in general, ability cooldowns and Cinder’s abilities in particular.

Fixed an issue with the weekly key reward sequence displaying invalid number of keys.

Added Leaderboards for initial testing! There's a Leaderboard for Normal and Ranked mode using your Score from wins/losses in the respective mode. The Score for the Normal Leaderboard resets at the end of each "Season", earning the top 3 players for each region a reward. The current Season ends June 30th so get playing PvP and fight your way to the top of your region!

Added Ranked Mode for initial testing! Ranked is the serious, random map game mode, where teams of 2 vs 2 (will be 3 vs 3 later) players are paired up based on their current Rank Score (a win/loss affects your Rank Score). We’ve currently “disabled” the matchmaking balancer so players of all divisions are able to play against/with each other.

Winning will grant you a 'Winstone'. Once you have enough Winstones, you'll play a promotion game to advance to the next (lower) Division. A winning streak of 3 grants a bonus Winstone.

There are currently 25 Divisions, counting down 5 each for Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond (shown in game with a special headstone and plaque). Ranked play is open for Players from Level 5 so if that’s you – go Ranked and play for Diamond!

Playing normal PvP mode now means playing a random map. We’ve currently “disabled” the matchmaking balancer so players of all levels and scores are able to play against/with each other.

We will have an update before the end of May that will include fixes for the match not starting issue, the rare but annoying end-game crash scenario, a new basic reconnect feature, a brand new (free) map called the Mirage where you compete for Mirage Orbs to transform into a Mirage Golem, some balancing fixes (Cinder) and the new hero Anuran to name a couple of the highlights.

Thanks for your patience, we are looking forward to sharing this update.

As the servers for Asia (located in Hong Kong) and Oceania (located in Sydney) seems to be running quite smooth, you are now able to access the game from the main store page in these regions of the world to!

We have now implemented a Smartcast functionality for ability activation. Smartcast enables you to automatically target/use an ability in the direction of the mouse cursor. You can disable Smartcast in the settings to target your abilities manually.

We’ve also opened the servers for Asia (located in Hong Kong) and Oceania (located in Sydney) for preliminary testing. This means that you are now able to play and help us start testing provided you already have a Deadbreed Undead Beta Key and activate it on Steam. Bear in mind that we are just launching this now for initial testing.

Login now and check out the latest update!

Servers/Lobby

We have now started the initial test phase for our servers in Asia (located in Hong Kong) and Oceania (located in Sydney). At this stage you are able to play if you already have a Deadbreed Undead Beta Key (and Steam of course).

Gameplay

Smartcast is now default for activating abilities using the ability hotkeys (you can turn this off in the settings or click the ability icons to target manually). Smartcast enables you to automatically target/use an ability in the direction of the mouse cursor.

Your are now able to level-up or unlock Hero and Artifact abilities by pressing ‘CTRL+’ the Ability Hotkey.

Added an alert message and Hero Voice Over when in the Armory and trying to equip an item and already have an item equipped in that slot.

Hello, we will soon provide more news on a "soft launch" of our Asian and Oceanian servers. In other words, if you already have a game key and are located in these regions - stick to it as you'll soon be able to help us try out the game!
